Before I started doing freelance makeup, I was posting random DIY makeup photos on my Facebook page. Being in the TV industry means I am the number one person to come to for celebrity gossip and news. I am not ashamed to admit that reading gossip sites is my ultimate guilty pleasure. Thus needless to say, I get my makeup inspiration mostly from celebrities.

When I see a picture of a celebrity with makeup that I particularly like, I usually save the pictures and try to emulate it.

So here are some of my less-than-perfect attempts. 😀

Dianna Agron inspired look that she wore to the Grammys. I love the bold dark look that she’s wearing. Very different from her usual ‘Quinn Fabrey’-look that she wears on Glee. I managed the super sharp flick at the corners by using tape as a ruler!

This is the look Beyonce sported in her ‘Party’ music video. I fell in love with the olive green colours that she used. Once again, I managed the sharp flick with tape!

Now this is a makeup look I am not usually very comfortable with. very dark on the eyes with black eyeliner on the lower waterline. But I really like this look by Effy from the TV series ‘Skins’. This was actually requested by a friend, so I decided to give it a shot!

This look is cray cray!! I just needed to use my new MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipstick, and that was why I decided to do this crazy look. I got the colours mostly from my Coastal Scents 88-colour palette!

I love Katy Perry! This was also a request from a friend. I wanted to make the look as wearable as possible…. though I really don’t think this is suitable for a daytime thing. Totally up to personal preference! But I had so much fun doing this!

I hope you guys like these looks! IF you have any requests, then leave a comment! I’ll see if I can try and recreate it!
